Skills in Guild Wars 2

Weapon skillsThese skills occupy the first 5 slot of the skill bar and depend on the weapon, which is currectly equiped. When switching a weapon, weapon skills change as well.

Healing skillsThese skills are allocated in the 6th slot on the skill bar and used for self healing.
You can change your healing skill, but your choice is resctricted by the character's profession and race.

Utility skillsThese skills occupy the 7th, 8th and 9th slots on the skill bar. They can serve different purposes.
You can change your utility skills, but your choice is resctricted by the character's profession and race.

Elite skillsThese skills can be equiped in the 10th slot on the skill bar. Elite skills give you strong advantage and can change the fate of the battle,
but have very long cooldown time. You can change your elite skill, but your choice is resctricted by the character's profession and race.

Downed skillsThese skills replace your normal set of skills when you go into the downed mode.
These skills are not as strong as your character's main skills, but nonetheless they give you a chance of "the last resort".

After this action your weapon skills are replaced with the unique skills relevant to a particular environmental weapon.

Greetings, visitors!

Since 2012 we are providing the Guild Wars 2 community with our website and our build editor, and we hope that you are satisfied with the quality of our resource. Unfortunately "there ain't no such thing as a free lunch" – it takes a lot of time and work to keep everything up-to-date and there are of course monthly fees for the dedicated server hosting.

As you may have noticed, we have no advertising on our site. Your donations are a substantial source of funding and allow us to keep the website alive and free of ads. We want to thank everyone who has supported us during these years and we hope that you continue to support us in future.
